Song: | To play this song all the way through, you will actually require TWO harmonicas: one diatonic in the Key of C, and one diatonic in the Key of E. This is the first tabulature I'm posting, and I already know some notes are slightly incorrect. Tabbed directly from sheet music. Key of C -6 -6 -7 -6 6 -5 -5 5 There's a grief that can't be spoken. -6 -6 -7 -6 6 -5 56 There's a pain goes on and on. 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 5 -4 Empty chairs at empty tables, 5 -5 5 5 -3 4 5 now my friends are dead and gone. -6 -6 -7 -6 6 -5 -5 5 Here they talked of rev-o-lu-tion. -6 -6 -7 -6 6 -5 5 6 Here it was they lit the flame. 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 5 -4 Here they sang about tomorrow, 5 -5 5 5 -3 4 -3' and tomorrow never came. 4 4 4 4 -4 4 4 -3' From the table in the corner 4 -4 5 -5 6 -5 -5-4 they could see a world re-born -4 5 -5 6 -6 6 6 5 and they rose with voices ringing. 4 4 -8 -8 -8 7 And I can hear them now. 7 -8 8 -9 8 -8 -6 -5 The very words that they had sung -9 9 -9 8 -8 -6 -5 became their last communion 7 7 -8 7 -7 -6 -6 6 -6 on the lonely barricade at dawn. -6 -6 -7 -6 6 -5 -5 5 Oh my friends, my friends forgive me -6 -6 -7 -6 6 -5 5 6 that I live and you are gone. 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 5 -4 There's a grief that can't be spoken. 5 -5 5 5 -3 -3 5 There's a pain goes on and on. Key Change C->E -6 -6 -7-6 6 -5 -5 5 Phantom faces at the window, -6 -6 -7 -6 6 -5 5 6 Phantom shadows on the floor. 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 5 -4 Empty chairs at empty tables 5 -5 5 5 -3 4 5 where my friends will meet no more. -6 -6 -7 -6 7 -7 -7 5 Oh my friends, my friends don't ask me -6 -6 -7 -6 6 -5 5 6 what your sacrifice was for. 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 5 -4 Empty chairs at empty tables 5 -5 5 5 -3 4 -3' where my friends will sing no more. |
